Remember that Elon overpromises & underdelivers

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally. With everything. In every business he touches. Yet the stock goes up. It's stupid.

Hmm it seems the speculative market loves speculation rather than actual results...

Not really.

Remember that Elmo just lies his ass off almost all the time.

Over promises and under delivery are such extreme understatements with him, almost everything bhe says is just pure imaginary bullshit

Lying his ass off literally is the only thing he does well, it made Tesla stocks balloon to being overvalued somewhere in 10-100 times their actual value

Remember hyperloop, that project that even high schoolers could identify as absolutely dumb? Billions and billions in investment money has been wasted on absolute bullshit that will never work.

But what about SpaceX, I hear you type?

Remember how we'd land on Mars in 2018, now 7-8 years ago? Yeah, Elmo is currently at about 1% of that particular promise. Again, it's not under delivery, it's just actual plain bullshit

Speaking of SpaceX, ISRO was able to come up with a design of a Reusable-launch vehicle in half the price & did it way before them

Hyperloop, Neuralink, Tesla Semi, FSD, Mars lander, Roadster, Boring company...But we sent Elizabeth Holmes to jail.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

Well, she too belongs in jail, so yes?

nah most of the time he just overpromises... rarely has he delivered anything at all, and when he does it's such a clusterfuck that the word underdeliver feels super generous.
